Narrated overview of the basic facts about the Stampe et Vertongen SV.4, a Belgian two-seat training and touring biplane.

It was designed in the early 1930s in Antwerp. The first version, the SV.4A, was an aerobatic trainer; the SV.4B had redesigned wings and a 130 hp de Havilland Gipsy Major engine. Only 35 were built before World War II. Afterwards, Stampe et Renard built 65 between 1948 and 1955 for the Belgian Air Force, and the SV.4C version was produced under license in France and Algeria, with 940 units between the two.

The video covers versions, operators and specifications: 6.8 m length, 8.385 m wingspan and a top speed of 188 km/h.
